Ask HN: good places to find developers in Canada?

5 points by petervandijck 16y ago

We're looking to hire developers in Canada (anywhere, they can work from home). What are some good places (job boards, mailing lists, etc.) to start looking at?

If you're willing to accept someone from 'anywhere' in Canada, mind if I ask what the obstacle would be to 'anywhere' globally?

  Unfortunately, there are legal/tax/etc. reasons beyond my control in this case :)

    I suppose that makes sense. Never been involved with an international hire, so I was just curious. Thanks!

Face to face is by far the best. Attend conferences. Meetup.com is an excellent resource. If you live in a major city, look up all the developer meetups in your area and start attending.

Same as in the US. Try craigslist, kijiji, linkedin, and facebook You can also contact universities or colleges in order to hire their graduates or co-op students.

I'll bite, I'm in Canada tell me about what you're working on? Based on your personal site and Funky Monkey it's tough to discern what you might be up to.

Another avenue is to find mailing list and google groups for either the technology you're using or the business that you're in. For example there is a jobs.perl.org for finding perl developers. Also there seem to be tech job listing service associated with sites that developers may frequent like stack overflow (http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ http://careers.stackoverflow.com/) and TechCrunch (http://www.crunchboard.com/jobs/ http://www.crunchboard.com/jobs/). I just saw a job advertised in my city while visiting stack overflow. Good luck, C PS I'm a developer in Canada that works from home and I know of a number of developers that also work form home (or are capable of doing so). If you let me know what you're working maybe I can help.
